Reply With QuoteI had the original Rainbow Flyback and loved it, really like this new 45mm version although not so sure I'm so keen on the Chrono pushers, does it have a see through back?
There's a new Rainbow in the form of the stratos. Works well IMO although they do a black version too which I don't like...

Sorry, but I think these are horrible. I thought Zenith had moved away from these clown-like designs.
It looks like a 20 quid Sekonda.
That is rather nice.
+1 - looked long and hard at the original, never bought one, this looks very nice indeed.Originally Posted by Skyman
Nice, but don't like the hour n minute hands. Not as nice as my original thoughand definitely too big for me.
Diameter: 45mm. Unwearable.
?????????
and since when is 45 unwearable
not everybody wears woman watches :-)
45mm is the new 40mm
I saw one in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago and prefer the original (although I am biased as I own the original! :-) )
Pushers and the PCL put me off (Although I'd use a different strap of some sort anyway so perhaps not important).
Oddly, having pretty much ignored Zenith since getting into watches 6 years ago - I've spent most of today drooling over the El Primero 1969 Chrono ... (even to the extent of adding up what some of my existing collection might be worth).
I like it. The stratos bracelet is a POS and would look much nicer on a good strap.
Lol,so true. A proper size for MAN wrists.
+1 Will look utterly daft on average sized wrists.
This ain't going under his cuff, then ...
Only to a chav45mm is the new 40mm

Feel kind of sad for those stuck in a time warp and all the size business. I can wear 39-48mm with comfort and pleasure.
Ooooh that's sooo lovely and discreet too.

Saw these at Heathrow a few weeks back.
Like the looks but not the size. Or the price - north of £5k RRP.
The thing that appeals (to me) about the original is the 40mm case, making it much more wearable IMHO. Here's mine on 7.25" wrist
Can't wait for LVMH to return it !!!

A great example of the 'clown effect'.This ain't going under his cuff, then ...

Well, I'll give it a miss as well.
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
No doubt in my mind, that's a tool watch

Oh dear.This ain't going under his cuff, then ...
I owned an original and I do like everything about this new model, even the 45mm case.
Bit big, but doen't have to be worn with a suit! I like it.
El Primero: Stratos Flyback Rainbow
I guess from the name that it does.
Horrible looking watch though, very cheap and nasty in appearance.
